Since the post in 2014, I have examined the Archive records and I have not found any order for the Coal Board or any photos or references in documents to a press supplied.

Does anyone remember an experimental coal dust briquetting press that was assembled and run in Hyd 2? This press then was installed at the Coal Board facility in Stoke Orchard near Cheltenham, then to another facility in South Wales.

I remember the press had two down stroking rams that pressed coal dust that was deposited into two separate rotating assemblies, which resembled the chambers of an old pistol magazine.
